The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management is fully accredited by
both the National Recreation and Park Association and the North American
Society for Sport Management.

STUDENT ASSOCIATION

The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management (STHM) Majors Club is
designed to expose Sport and Recreation Management and Tourism and
Hospitality Management majors to the professional realm through
participation in career fairs, networking, and familiarity with available
resources. The STHM Majors Club strives to create a learning environment
which fosters collegiality and a sense of community. Membership is open to
all undergraduate School of Tourism and Hospitality Management majors.

ADMISSION FOR NEW STUDENTS TO TEMPLE UNIVERSITY

If you are applying for admission to Temple University as a freshman or
transfer student, and you wish to major in Sport and Recreation Management
or Tourism and Hospitality Management, you should designate the School of
Tourism and Hospitality Management (Code 023) on your application. All
freshman students are admitted initially into the School of Tourism and
Hospitality Management as undeclared majors. After one year of the
School of Tourism and Hospitality Management core courses and careful
career/academic advice from the Director of Undergraduate Programs, students
will be eligible to declare their specific major. All transfer
students must seek individual program advice from the Director of
Undergraduate Programs.

The information in the following sections is designed to provide you with
guidance in planning your program of study. The requirements, electives, and
sequences are detailed. Courses are scheduled for students to follow the
planned sequence. If you do not follow your program as designed, you may
face conflicts that will necessitate taking an additional semester or two to
complete your requirements. The information contained here should answer a
number of your questions about procedures.

Ideally, you should enter the program as a freshman or a sophomore so
your professional work can be spread over three to four years. However,
transfer students from community colleges or other accredited four-year
institutions may meet some of the program requirements through transfer
credits. It is also possible to transfer into the program from another
school or college within Temple University as late as your junior year
through the intra-university transfer application process. If you
enter this program at the beginning of your junior year or later, you must
understand that your degree requirements may not be met within the
traditional eight semesters. When you first meet with your new
academic adviser, you should plan how long it will take to complete your
degree requirements.

UNIVERSITY DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

As in any degree program, students in both Sport and Recreation
Management and Tourism and Hospitality Management must complete University
requirements as well as major requirements. All new students should review
the sections in this Bulletin pertaining to:

1. entrance requirements, found in the Undergraduate
Admissions section;
2. placement tests, found in the Academic
Policies and Regulations section;
3. University core requirements, found in the Core
Curriculum section.
The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management offers two undergraduate
major programs: (1) Sport and Recreation Management, and (2) Tourism and
Hospitality Management.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCEDEGREE PROGRAMS

The undergraduate majors in the School of Tourism and Hospitality
Management are designed to prepare students for a variety of positions in
the leisure service field. The focus of the undergraduate programs is to
provide a broad educational foundation and to prepare students for entry
into the sport and recreation management, leisure service, or tourism and
hospitality occupations at the professional level.

The Sport and Recreation Management program prepares students interested
in sport and recreation careers in the private/commercial sector, public
recreation and park agencies, voluntary agencies, campus services, armed
forces, and corporate/industrial settings. The Tourism and Hospitality
Management program prepares students for entry-level to mid-level positions
in tourism, hospitality, and commercial recreation. The program prepares
students to work in convention and visitors' bureaus, conference centers,
resorts, casinos, hotels, theme parks, theaters, and clubs throughout the
United States. Both programs consist of course work in the University Core
Curriculum, School major course requirements, supplemental electives from
related disciplines, and two supervised field experiences.

University Core Curriculum
The Core course selections will be the student's choice, with
recommendations from the School. The student who has completed a Core course
prior to declaring a major in Sport and Recreation Management or Tourism and
Hospitality Management will not be required to complete the suggested Core.

recreation, tourism, or hospitality setting. The second field experience, 15
semester hours scheduled during the senior year, involves the students in
all aspects of professional responsibility in an approved setting, based
upon the student's preference and professional goals. Prerequisite to the
senior internship is completion of all other degree requirements, an overall
GPA of 2.3 or higher, a School GPA of 2.5 or higher, CPR and First Aid
certification, no grades of "I" or "MG" on the student's
transcript, plus a requirement that students verify at least 250 hours of
